Republican Keith Fimian Says He’s More Conservative than Tom Davis

While on Mark Plotkin's Politics Program on WTOP radio, Republican
Congressional Candidate Keith Fimian (VA-11) called himself "more conservative"
that retiring Representative Tom Davis and was not able to name one thing that
made him moderate.

"Keith Fimian is conservative - don't take our word for
it, he said so himself. Fimian admitted that he does not hold the kind of
moderate, commonsense views the voters of Virginia's 11th District are
looking for," said Kyra Jennings,
Southern Regional Press Secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee. "Keith Fimian is too extreme to get the job done for the district and
has now shown by his actions and by his words that he is out of line with the
priorities of Northern Virginia."

Fimian has already demonstrated his extreme views with
his close ties to anti-choice leader Tom Monaghan, his attendance at Virginia's
right wing "Tuesday Morning Group" along with Gun
Owners of America executive director Larry Pratt, and his support from
extreme right wing groups such as the National Conservative Campaign Fund. [FEC

When asked if he is
far too conservative for the district, Fimian responded: "I'm
perhaps a little more conservative
than Tom [Davis], but I'm not sure where he stands on all
issues." Fimian called himself a "moderate that leans conservative", but when
asked what he was "moderate on," Fimian was unable to answer without being
prompted by host Mark Plotkin and then said he was "pro-life" but "also against
the death penalty." [WTOP's Politics Program
